OK it wont fit because of the time regardless of how large or small the file is in MB. The time is 82 min 53 sec. I would need to burn onto an 800MB / 90min music CD. I am not going to do that to suit one guy. He will either have to play them off a stick or shuffle 2 CD's. That said, If I had an 800...

So Brasero is trying to convert the mp3's to .wav? I converted .wav's to mp3, so they would fit on one CD. Is Brasero capable of burning mp3's?

So far we've looked at everything except what is actually in the 30GB / partition which shows 91% full. The OP indicated 7GB in /boot with a note that there are .iso files stored there - which is puzzling. Having an .iso file in /boot does absolutely nothing except take up / space. How did they get...

LinuxMint Cinnamon 18.0, fully updated as of a few minutes ago. 750GB HDD /30 GB - 91.2% full Swap 4 GB Home 716 GB - 28.5% full Why is there so much stuff in / ?
